And in another twist of the political knife, he says he
was inspired to tape the event because Bill Clinton was
super nice to him once.

The bartender told The Huffington
Post that he
had previously worked a similar event at a private
home where the former president was speaking. After his
speech, Clinton took the time to share his legendary personal
charm with all people working the event. He went into the
kitchen to thank the staff for all their hard work, and even
stuck around to sign autographs and take photos. The bartender
says he brought his camera to the Romney event expecting the same
level of hospitality. (Romney showed up late and left early,
failing to gladhand with the little people.)

The bartender says Romney never
told the staff that the meeting was off the record, though if
they were in the room they probably heard it. (And we don't know
what his employer's rules were about confidentiality.) He also
claims he wasn't planning to release the tape ... until he heard
Romney say that Obama's voters are the 47 percent of
Americans "who believe that they are victims, who believe
the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe
that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to
you-name-it." That was what led him to post clips online and
eventually turn
the whole tape over to Mother Jones reporter David Corn.

"I felt it was a civic duty. I couldn't sleep after I watched
it," he said. "I felt like I had a duty to expose it."
